The Process of a Growing Out a New "Do"

Sooooo ... I'll be turning the big "5-0" this summer and it has really been messin' with my head! The thoughts of "how is it possible that I'm going to be 50" type-stuff. All the things that I've been going to do ... and the thought of "what the heck have I been doing for the past 50 years"????? I've gotten a grip on most of the totally insane thoughts but I decided that this is the year!! NOOOO ... I'm not going out and buying new boobs and a Harley -- but just a couple of new goals.

I've been going to be at "my goal weight" by my birthday (June 30th) for about 15 summers now. Well this is the summer! I've got 24 lbs to go and I am well on my way to being a fit and sassy momma (even if I am approaching middle age!) As part of the transformation, I've decided to grow my hair out into a different style too! Two pretty hefty goals. I met with my hair stylist this week and we talked about "the process." I have her number to call ... 24-7 if the scissors should ever find their way to my hand! I'm excited!

Here is my hair now (as you can see, I have quite a ways to go)



Below are some pictures of the basic style that will be in the works by June 30th.

I have to do "nothing" to my hair for another 4 weeks and then I go in for a trim and highlights.
I will definately keep you "posted" as the transformation progresses.

Definitely can see that working on you! Can't remember you without bangs...bangs, what a strange word! Anyway, everyone around me is going longer and I'm going shorter! I'm on board for supporting you in the cause! 50 & fabulous!

I think that style will look fabulous on you! Lock those scissors in a safe and forget the code. You can do it!

We can call each other for support because it's right about now that I want to go short and straight! (remember last spring break?) I like the third picture--what actress is that?
